How to help Refilwe develop her self-image
Refilwe is in Grade 7. Her parents both passed away before she
was ten years old. She and her two older brothers live with her
grandmother. Her brothers often tease her because she is shy
and quiet. She feels as if she is not good at anything. Her
school reports are often very average and she does not make
friends easily at school. Her grandmother is very busy doing
things to earn money and look after the grandchildren and the
home, so she does not have much time to spent with Refiloe on
her own. Refilwe often feels guilty that her grandmother has to work so hard to
look after everyone. She feels that she is a burden, so she tries to make herself
“invisible” to the family, but does what she can to help around the house. Her
grandmother values her help, but she doesn’t often mention it. Refilwe enjoys
writing stories, and one of the teachers at school says that she is talented enough
to enter one of her stories in a local arts festival, but Refilwe does not have the
confidence to do this. She is afraid of looking silly.
Questions:
6.1. Does Refilwe have a positive or negative self-image? Motivate your answer.
